Fitness SF in Oakland is a smaller gym absolutely stuffed with equipment. It’s well kept up. Machines all work consistently and they are always cleaning. Members span every racial, gender, and age demographic. I’ve never witnessed attitude thrown at other members. It’s size doesn’t allow for a pool, studios for group exercise, hot tubs, saunas, or basketball, handball, squash, or pickleball courts, so it’s limited to cardio and resistance training. It’s the staff that make it truly outstanding though. We’ve been working with Jeremy Jouanne for about a year. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, caring, accepting, creative, interesting, and reliable. He’ll push us just enough to keep us challenged, but he’ll always keep an eye to safety. That’s important for two septuagenarians. We’ve had memberships at a variety of gyms and clubs over the years. Fitness SF-Oakland offers a fantastic value. I’d love to see them expand to include group exercise areas, but they otherwise meet our needs perfectly.

If you’re looking for a pure no frills gym experience, this is the place to go. Staff is kind, all the equipment works, and there’s a good amount of squat racks and benches, especially considering the overall footprint. I just wish people would rerack their weights properly…

I found myself back to Fitness SF in Oakland after working out at home since the pandemic started. I have a history of lower back problems so was a little concerned about getting back to a gym. I booked 8 training sessions with Jeremy Jouanne. He was FANTASTIC! I wanted to focus on lower body and core to protect my back and Jeremy crushed it. He could tell that I had a good workout base and gave me safe but super effective and exercises that I have been able to easily implement into my own routine. Also, Jeremy is easy to talk to and fun to train with. If you're thinking about sessions with a trainer I can't recommend Jeremy at Fitness SF Oakland enough.
